  Tribute to Kim Clijsters

  by Leolaia in

  2. physical

  today is kim clijsters' birthday and a month ago she announced her retirement from tennis.

  i remember the week she was born very well.

  i have watched tennis since the late '70s, and i remember when billie jean king was a star, when jimmy connors was a hot new thing, and when "virginia slims" matches were shown on wtbs.

  I'm with Leolaia on this one- it was unfair on Kim to have the match end that way!

  Let's face it- Serena (JW or NOT) is suposed to be a proffesional, and this was just stupidity on her part!

  Blood Doctrine Debate

  by garyneal in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as has been the case over the summer, my wife and i have been going to two different churches every sunday.

  generally, before church service we speak of religion and the various differences and, of course, why she believes hers is right.

  this time, we spoke briefly about holidays first.

  I would sujest you check out the laws in the country/state you live in on this issue- I was suprised to learn that in Australia, JW parents (or anyone else) are by law NOT allowed to refuse blood transfusions for there minor children. So even though this doctrine is preached by the WTBTS in many countrys- it is actually against the laws of some.

  Big Tex- That is the defenition of Deism as listed on the Wikipedia. It makes us sound cold and to most theists. I know plenty of other deists (as well as myself) who half agree with this defenition- not two deists will give you the same answer, we are not borg, we have only the way in which we came to believe in common, 'reason', but what we believe and how we live our lives is completly up to the individual.... some choose ChristianDeism if that is what is 'true' for them. I see value in it and agree to a certain extent...

  Deism is simmilar to Christianity in that it has many different denomonations, but the communication and respect between the different 'flavors' of Deism is better than between the different 'flavors' of Christianity. Christians argue over which way to interpret a particular passage of the bible (eg; JW vs Catholic), I have noticed that there is no arguing over who has the better 'flavor' of Deism so far (plenty of healthy debating- but no arguments or poo flinging just yet lol).

  Not as silly as it sounds,

  "The Man Who Sued God is a 2001Australian movie in which Billy Connolly plays Steve Myers, an ex-lawyer who sues God because his boat is struck by lightning, and his insurance company refuses to pay, claiming it to be an act of God. By claiming to be God's representatives on Earth, the Christian churches and Jewish synagogues are held to be the liable party, putting them in the difficult position of either having to pay large sums of money, or prove that God does not exist."- from wikipedia...

  This guy, may just be on to something- or he could be a total crack-pot!...

  The logistics of dealing with over 6 billion unburied corpses

  does this ever cross the mind of your average jw?.

  can you even begin to imagine what that would look like or even smell like?.

  what about the effect of these scenes on the mind of children, even adults?.
